In this debut episode of Endeavour’s Beyond the Grid, we explore how smarter energy systems are reshaping the future of power and infrastructure.

Host Beth Rattner sits down with Chris Ellis, CEO of Edged Infrastructure and a pioneer in microgrids, to rethink how data centers interact with the electric grid—and how a few strategic shifts can dramatically reduce peak demand.

They break down how data centers, often seen as energy-intensive, can actually support the grid and accelerate the transition to clean, reliable power. Chris shares the two system changes that can unlock resilience, reliability, and cleaner operations at scale and why global access to sustainable energy must start with people at the center.

The conversation covers:
• The misunderstood relationship between AI, data centers & grid capacity
• How on-site generation and intelligent controls shift the energy conversation
• Why the future of sustainability hinges on access, equity & human impact
